ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

what about banana colors - are there some bananas that are the wrong color though

bananas are not clothes

except my opinons about black and rugby shirts, those are good opinions

when i was approx 9 years old, polo shirts, Ocean Pacific ('OP') shirts and Panama Jack shirts were totall essentially to being a worthwhile human being - in addition to THESE:

i begged and begged my parents for a 'coca cola shirt' and when they finally knuckled they somehow ended up buying me a scoop neck women's non-rugby version, which i was mocked for :(

I remember the Panama Jack and OP craziness. I probably had about a dozen OP t-shirts at least. Don't think the Coca-Cola rugby shirt ever caught on in any of the neighborhoods I grew up in though?

I think one of the things I enjoy most about clothes is having very strong and resolute ideas about which ones are acceptable or not.

no this is a good pastime!

it's fun

mr. I know how clothes work

if you read the thread you will clearly see its not fun

not only did I have fun at it but it sort of looks like you did too!

im sorry but every post being all this [wide category of clothing] is douchey is not fun

it actually takes no appreciation of clothes it just takes opinions

i don't think you're sorry

im sorry that its come to this, truly

[wide category of clothes] is bad is basically a basis for conversation

lagoon just skateboarded into the thread to throw up the hang loose sign

thread is like 90% ppl w no taste saying what they think is bad tbh

but [narrowly defined characteristic] is more fun I think.

xpost

you have a different issue w the thread then xp

i'm not getting a smug or judgmental vibe from this thread at all, and there is plenty of sincere sartorial interest and appreciation

the ironing!

says the guy who is against an entire fabric

but isnt positive what it is

this is not a hang loose sign

there's a big dif b/w "only douchebags wear x" and "i don't like x"

thread is like 90% ppl w no taste saying what they think is bad tbh

not true really? there is a lot of positivity itt and whenever someone posts something they like or bought recently it is generally frowned upon to shit on them for it, good vibes are instead encouraged

exactly

when people do zing others for their taste e.g. lagoon zinging zip hoodies it is also generally in good fun too

lagoon is zinging people like all the time for zinging people super ironic if you think about it

if you all successfully come up w some zings against bad clothes i will be there for it, in fact i encourage you phrase yr complaints in the form of zings, wld be an improvement

I'm not a zinger. I just come here for high-level conversation about menswear.

this is also very acceptable

get a load of this

jesus

hahaha

A ZARA XL IS LIKE A J. CREW MEDIUM lol

disappointed they didnt include my white tee brand (nautica) for comparisons sake tho i guess they didnt really wade into "undershirts"

wow so much data

me and a guy totally had that idea over beers in a foreign country one time

but like for more than t-shirts, we were gonna catalogue measurements for everything

i think thats what that site is trying to do

i like Hoka, very comfortable (and give you about 1.5" height boost!)

talking about height boost I saw some eytys recently and i think they're a great looking canvas shoe but i just cannot get with that goddamn huge midsole

I wear Hokas.

I ran in mine once, trying to catch the bus before it pulled off

p sure the good opinions on clothes are the ones that exactly mirror my own except when im being a daring free-thinker then the good opinion to have is the exact opposite of my own

otherwise: i need a new parka because of the onslaught of winter but i really hate parkas

sometimes you gotta protect yourself with an ugly parka so you can keep enjoying other clothes for a long time

parkas r good imo im a parka enthusiast
